Satoshi Ohno (大野智) of Arashi (嵐) attended the press conference of "Kaibutsu Kun/怪物くん (lit. Little monster)" on April 11. This is the first time for this manga of Fujiko Fujio A to be played by real person.

It's a story about the prince of the monster land, "Kaibutsu Kun" and his friends, Dracula, Wolfman, and Franken, come to the human world, encounter with Hiroshi and his sister Utako, and start to aware of "What a king should be."As in the original work, Ohno who plays Kaibutsu-kun appears with a blue-red cap, "I was worried about my age at the beginning. I am about 30." said Ohno with a wry smile, "But, after starting the shoot, I gradually feel at home. In this appearance, I feel rejuvenated. My hair is dyed into brown as well after two year absence."The theme song "Yukaitsu-Kaibutsukun (ユカイツーカイ怪物くん)" of the anime version which is famous for the phrase "Ka-I, Kaikai♪ (カーイ、カイカイ♪)" is used as the BGM and is solo sang by Ohno. "I know the song before. However, I am surprised to be no.3. They told me to 'sing as yourself.' So I sang it merrily." He seems enjoy the singing a lot.

The theme song is "Monster", the new song by Arashi, and the single will release on May 19. "Yukaitsu-Kaibtsukun" will also be recorded into CD later. "All members suit Kaibutsu-kun's image. Choreography is full of mysterious feeling as well. But Aiba-chan struggled to memorize it." Ohno said happily.

The original author Fujiko commented: "I have watched the drama and I appreciate that all characters fit perfectly." As to the Kaibutsu-kun played by Ohno, "Surprisingly I almost cried. Even I drew the story, it is much better than expected."

Arashi (嵐) have been appointed as the Japanese Tourism Promotion Representative volunteer (観光立国ナビゲーター) of Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. On the press conference on April 8, Sho Sakurai (櫻井翔), Masaki Aiba (相葉雅紀) and Jun Matsumoto (松本潤) made their appearance and announced: "We are waiting for your coming in Japan." with Sakurai in English, Aiba in Chinese and Matsumoto in Korean. Both Sakurai and Aiba made impressive announcement, but Matsumoto was the only one tongue-tied. "I screwed up at the most important situation. I have to practice more!" said Matsumoto.

Sakurai showed his confidence: "I am honored to be chosen as 'Face of Japan'. When I was told about this, I was totally surprised. I will work hard for this important duty!" and Aiba said: "I want to impress all the tourists who come to Japan with Japanese wonderful culture and tradition."

In 2009, there were 6,790,000 visitors come to Japan. And Japan Tourism Agency has targeted 15,000,000 visitors by 2013 and 30,000,000 in the future. Arashi, as the Japanese Tourism Promotion Representative Navigator, are having various promotion activities in China and other East Asia countries with the new catch-phrase "Japan. Endless Discovery."

When they were asked which feature of Japan you want to express, Sakurai answered: "Drift ices can be found in Hokkaido at the north, and coral and beautiful ocean can be seen in Okinawa at the south. With spring, summer, autumn and winter, I want to let everybody know the rich nature of Japan." Aiba said: "Fashion and Anime are properties of Japan as well, and they are what I would like to show." Matsumoto: "I have traveled in Japan twice by now in this year, and found that the food cultures differ from place to place. I will try to impress people with different culture of different places of Japan."

The new TV commercial of Arashi is prepared, for their future activities in Asia. As the "Face of Japan", will Arashi add more splendors to Japan's charm?

The “Oricon Style” website recently released the results of a survey conducted last month. They asked people to name the celebrity they wanted as a classmate. Miura Haruma obtained first place for the males list and for females it was the popular ‘talento’ Becky.

As usual Oricon made a survey to find out the most anticipated dorama of the new season as well. Unsurprisingly "Tsuki no Koibito ~Moon Lovers~" starring Kimura Takuya (37) topped this ranking as well and Oricon expects some very high ratings for this dorama.

Tsuki no Koibiti will be Kimutaku's first real love story in 10 years and star him as the company president of an interior design company. "It's a getsu9 dorama and it has Kimutaku, it's impossible not to have very high expectations," a female teenage voter said. However, it's not just him people are looking forward to. "I'm really excited, because it's Shinohara Ryoko's comeback dorama," another female voter in her thirties commented.

Second place goes "Team Batista 2" starring Ito Atsushi (26) and Nakamura Tooru (44). During the first season the two of them have already proven to be a great team and gathered a lot of male fans. In fact, this dorama would have topped the ranking if they've only counted the male voters. Third place goes to the dorama adaption of the fantasy comedy manga "Kaibutsu-kun" starring Ohno Satoshi (29) of the popular group Arashi.

"Shinzanmono" starring Abe Hiroshi (45) and Kuroki Meisa (21) made it on the fourth place while the Twitter dorama "Sunao ni Narenakute" starring Ueno Juri (23) and Eita (27) unfortunately only ranked fifth. The biggest surprise of the ranking is the fact that "Mother" didn't make it into the Top 10.

There are many random polls, polls not organized by "legitimate" portals such as Oricon or goo you can find in the Japanese interwebs and most of them tend to be very silly or hurtful towards some celebrities or groups. However, once in a while there are actually some interesting polls and sometimes even polls that don't allow users to freely add choices of their own (tends to become quite monotonous).

Notes:But, satoshidake just take some pollings that have related to Ohno Satoshi and Arashi

Fuji TV's 50th anniversary dorama special "Wagaya no Rekishi" has been completed and today the cast went up to the rooftop of said channel's Wangan Studio in Tokyo to make the happy announcement. One by one the all dressed up cast walked along the red carpet laid out on the roof.

Spring welcomed the cast with a very strong breeze, much to the agony of those wearing dresses, but at least it didn't rain. Starring actress Shibasaki Kou (28) said a few words about the dorama. "Having seen the complete version, I just fully realized how much our current way of life is connected to the smiles and sorrows of the people from the past."

Writer Mitani Kouki is said to have been working on the script of this special dorama for more than 5 years. It's a dorama with a family oriented theme and a story that follows the always cheerful Yame family through all the big historical events of the Show era like World War II, the US-Japan Security Treaty conflicts, the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and so on. We will be able to relive all those moments through their eyes, with all their smiles and their tears and never-ceasing brightness despite the numerous hardships.

Mitani was happy about the blue sky for the event. "This day has finally come. Such a strong wind feels more like a punishment, but I'm still glad that we have such a nice weather." Actress Eikura Nana (22) plays the youngest child of the family and also said a few words about this nearly 8 hours long epic dorama special. "In the beginning I thought 7 hours would be really long, but I ended up watching the whole dorama in one night. I'm very happy that I'm able to stand here today," she said. "It's 8 hours long!" Mitani had to correct her. "Did you actually watch it until the end?" He joked.

Shibasaki further commented on how it was to work together with such a wonderful cast. "I'm not married and don't have any children yet, but during the filming I definitely experienced how it must feel like to have a family." Regarding child actor Kato Seishiro (8) she added, "His way of thinking is very mature and it was him who actually taught me a lot of things at the set." Of course Kato replied in a very mature way, "No, you taught me!"

"Tokujo Kabachi!", a dorama starring Sakurai Sho (28) and Horikita Maki (21) has now officially been criticized by the Japanese bar association, it has been learned today.

The dorama focuses on the work of notary publics and their settlement negotiations. Now the Osaka bar association claims that the characters of the dorama often actively violated the Bengoshi-Ho, the Lawyers law. There is something called the Hiben Katsudo, a law that exists for the prevention of non-attorney activities. It basically says that only lawyers may claim recompenses in cases of traffic accidents, divorces, insolvency, debts and so on. Notary publics are no lawyers and therefore they have no right trying to get recompenses from the other party.

There may have been situations where the characters in TokuKaba exceeded their powers, but it's based on a manga and just a fictional story. However, the bar association sees it as a promotion of such acts and wrote TBS a letter voicing their protest against the dorama. They are not suing them or anything, but they expect an apology in form of canceling any DVD and rebroadcasting plans.

On April 01 the two Arashi members Ninomiya Kazunari (26) and Sakurai Sho (28) have been spotted enjoying the cherry trees that are currently in full bloom. Occasions where people go out to gaze at the beautiful cherry blossoms like this are called ohanami or sakura viewing, a term most of you have probably heard already. Anyway, Ninomiya and Sakurai haven't been alone that day, the young actresses Mizukawa Asami (26) and Eikura Nana (22) were with them all the time.

Sounds like a great and fun outing of some very popular young stars in Japan. They didn't even try to disguise themselves and simply enjoyed being together. So what's the occasion? Is it time for more dating rumors again?

"Most people might still not be aware, but Mizukawa is actually very close with the members of Arashi. Even in their private time they often go out to have some meals together. Once she appeared together with Aiba Masaki (27) in a movie and there were rumors about them being in a relationship. Eikura, on the other hand, is a very good friend of Mizukawa," an official of a broadcasting station explained the foursome.

That seems to explain all the fun they seem to have had that day. People said that Mizukawa simply wasn't able to stop smiling all day long. However, it wasn't just a random get-together under the trees, they've actually had a reason to be together.

"April 01 was the birthday of Takahashi Katsumi (49). The four of them have been seen carrying a cake to a café and congratulating him on his birthday," an official from an agency resolved the situation. Several other influential actors such as Tsutsumi Shinichi (45) or Toda Keiko (52) attended the little party at this café near the cherry trees as well. The staff at the café even had to stay 40 minutes longer than the official closing time, because the group simply had too much fun and didn't want to end the party. The group then split up while some of them decided to keep partying elsewhere, a few of them even until 2 am in the night.

It was the tabloid FLASH that reported about this event and published several snapshots from the party. Eikura was said to be in a very good mood. She was a bit tipsy and linked arms with the others. Ninomiya was kind of leading the foursome to the party and was carrying a lot of stuff for them. Nagasawa Masami is know to be good friends with Mizukawa and Eikura as well and it was surprising not to see her at the party, but I guess she tries to avoid any public appearances together with Ninomiya.
